Invocation of My Demon Brother. “The key of joy is disobedience.”—Aleister CrowleyLucifer has risen. Kenneth Anger is, terrestrially at least, no more. Of the Hollywood that once was, Kenneth Anger was one of the few unsentimental remnants—never nostalgic and always captivated by the present. He leaves behind an aura of gothic glam and a string of sacrilegious, unselfconscious films. In the Bible, Lucifer—etymologically, “the light bearer”—was cast out of heaven for plotting against the supreme creator, that divine auteur. In Hollywood, Anger shed light on the ambrosial decadence that accompanied the rise of the film industry, whose mythological dimension he both captured and incarnated. To Anger, Hollywood was a sort of maternal womb, the amniotic element whose sinister luminescence he chiseled like a baroque sculptor. In his cinema, there is a visible adherence to the superficial gloss that made commercial films so profound. He was able...

“Younger” gets attention for its look into the New York social circles and its attention-grabbing fashions, and that’s as it should be. After all, this is a series by Darren Star, who also brought us the delights of “Sex and the City.”
Sutton Foster stars as Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman who’s just emerged from a failed marriage and must re-enter the work force. The only problem is that no one will even glance at her resume since she became a full-time mother nearly two decades ago. But after she’s mistaken for a 26-year-old at a bar, she decides to pass for much younger and lands a job at publishing firm Empirical Press.

Declaring this their “Tenth Commandment in Metal,” UK legends (and long-time FEARnet faves) Cradle of Filth have diverged from their usual game plan of sweeping concept albums, choosing this time to divide and conquer a wide assortment of sinister subjects – everything from classics of erotic literature to creepy fairy tales, monsters of myth & legend, the timeless horrors of H.P. Lovecraft, and a few beasts of their very own creation. While all of this falls within the band's usual lyrical domain, their songwriting and production approach on The Manticore calls back to their '90s black metal origins, while retaining just enough of the band's well-known cinematic elements to keep their gothic stamp on it. “We have diversified and kept alive the spirit of this band,” says band frontman & founder Dani Filth, “and breathed it into something that I can proudly say, slays like an absolute motherfucker.” Sounds like a fairly confident statement to me.

The letter O has always provided designers with a bit of fun, especially in posters, but there's more to the vowel than that, says John Crace
To lexicographers it's just the 15th letter of the English alphabet. To designers it's a perfect shape for treatment: a world, a ball, a ring, a sun, a moon, a clock, a compass, a face. It's not even just a letter; it's a number, too – if zero counts as a number. It's a solid sphere or an empty circle.
A circle is a universal symbol. Or possibly myth; Plato argued the perfect circle only existed as a Form, something that we understand but never see; a circle in the real world is always merely an imperfect interconnection of adjoining dots. There again, the artist Giotto was reputed to be able to draw a perfect circle freehand.

Films on the cutting edge. That's how I would describe the 50 movies on this list. While some moviegoers may find it an 'alien' experience to refer to sub-titles in understanding what's happening on the big screen, a good number of audiences are totally enjoying the different and often surprising take by many foreign filmmakers, nothwithstanding the language barrier.
Content-wise, the 50 movies feature stories about war and peace, love and romance, family affairs, coming-of-age tales, cultural and religious diversity, social issues (including prostitution and abortion) and personal - celebrating life or facing death with dignity. Coverage-wise, tMF list down many of the best foreign films from 2000 until last year from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and about 15 other countries in Europe, North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
